The sampling technique employed by the researcher in the selection of the sample was the simple random sampling technique. The sample size selected for this study was 225 year one students in selected schools which represents 5 percent of the accessible population comprising of 127 males and 98 females. The questionnaire was designed to measure the two sub-independent variables. The reliability of the instrument was 0.76 reliability coefficient. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the request questions. While Multiple and Simple linear regression analysis statistical tool was used to test the null hypotheses that were formulated to guild the study at 0.05 level of significance. The results of this study shows that institutional policies and quality assurance significantly enhances the correlates of entry requirements of undergraduates in Universities in Cross River State, Nigeria and Poor implementation of quality assurance policies significantly influences institutional entry requirements of undergraduates in Universities in Cross River State, Nigeria. The study concludes that institutional policies and quality assurance significantly enhances the correlates of entry requirements of undergraduates in Universities in Cross River State, Nigeria and Poor implementation of quality assurance policies does not significantly influences institutional entry requirements of undergraduates in Universities in Cross River State, Nigeria.
